Oysters for Dyspepsia.

An exchange is authority for the state
ment that it is not as generally under
stood as it should be that oysters have
medical qualities of high order. They
are not only NITROUS but wholesome es
pecially in cases of indigestion. 1t is said
there is no other allimentary substance,
not even excepting bread, that does not
produce indigestion under certain circum-
stances, but oysters never" Oyster juice
promotes indigestion. By taking oysters
daily indigestion supposed to be almost
incurable has been cured; in fact, they
are to be regarded as one of the most
healthful articles of food known to man.
Invalids who have found all other kinds
of food disagree with them frequently
discover the oyster the required ailment.
Raw oysters are highly recommended for
hoarseness. Many of the leading vocalists
use them regularly before concerts and
operas; but their strangest remarkable
